A lubricant can be fluid, semi-fluid or solid and depending on specification can: Control friction, control wear, prevent corrosion, transfer heat (cool), seal and keep out contaminants, carry away contaminants, dampen shock, reduce noise levels, transmit power (i.e. hydraulics). Maximum and minimum temperature Total operating window of the lubricant. Consistently operating at the extremities can adversely affect the operating life. See also Operating Temperature. Micro-welding When two metals of similar melting points rub together, hot spots on the two metals will melt together creating a temporary bond. This will then be pulled apart by the relative motion of the two surfaces causing material to break away resulting in surface damage. Mineral Oil Petroleum based, produced by refining crude oil.

It is also used as a component of pastes to prevent scoring when Biodegradability Chemical degradation of materials by bacteria or other biological means meaning the substance returns to more basic components. Breakaway torque Rotational force required to begin rotary motion associated with a screwed or threaded connection. See Also White Paste, Press-Fit Test, Thread Friction Coefficient. Cleaners A material which is designed to remove soiling (dirt) from a substrate (surface). Consistency The degree to which grease resists deformation under the application of a force, roughly equates to softness or hardness of the grease. Copper paste Copper powder suspended in a lubricant. Prevents direct metal-to-metal contact and seizing of parts. Corrosion preventative A substance, usually a coating designed to prevent a metallic surface from a corrosive reaction with the surrounding environment. COSHH regulations Control of Substances Hazardous to Health - Legislation requiring employers to control (prevent or reduce workers exposure to) substances that are hazardous to health by:- risk assessment, training, planning for emergencies etc. DIN Standard Deutsches Institut Für Normung, the German Institute for Standardisation.

The carrier is not intended to have lubricating properties and is purely to facilitate application of the solid lubricant. See also Solid lubricant. EP (Extreme Pressure) additive An additive designed to minimise the tendency of metal surfaces to weld and seize under conditions of extreme localised loads. See also Additives. Film thickness Recommended minimum thickness of coating to give reliable protection. See also Corrosion Preventative. Food grade lubricants In most cases produced from raw materials approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) commonly classified as NSF H1 or H2. See also NSF and NSF Classification. Four-ball test Test 1 A constant load is applied via a rotating ball to 3 static balls for a fixed period of time which are then inspected for the size of “wear scar”. A substance (either soluble or insoluble) added to produce or enhance certain desirable properties of the lubricant. Dry or solid lubricants may be added with the objective to maintain lubrication even when the primary lubricant (oil or grease) had displaced or evaporated.
